The Mormon Leadership.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1s.-The st. Louis Globe
Democrat prints sensational story abou
the blood successor of Joseph Smith, of the
Mormon Church, to the effect that in 1872
Joseph Smith took an English girl as his
spiritual wife, on the condition that if she
bore son, he, in the fullness of time, should
become the head of the Mormon Church.
The child was born and taken to England by
its mother, and there educated in Cambridge
University, proper credentials having been
given to secure all rights. The story Is now
being published by LIE Baron Harrington, a
man of note in the Mormon church at Salt
Lake City, for the purpose, it is thought, of
injuring the prospects of the ambitious
Smiths Of the present day, and perhaps with
the intention of springing the central figure
of the story, who would now be 45 years old,
before the church as claimant to the lead
ership. DIR. George Hall Of st. Louis and
Mr.. Cra wford of Hancock, ILL.,, claim to be
the only ones who know the origin of the
story, and they pronounce it myth. 1t is
reported that the story was concocted twen-
ty-ive years ago in DR.. Halls Office to his
knowledge, but not by him. He claims to
have ample evidence in his possession to
prsve the whole thing myth.

'The little town of Truro, down in Barnstable

have been caught in these tea traps this season
by Mr.. Richard Rich caught twenty-seven fsh at
one time last week. These were brought TO Bos-

are fifteen weirs in the towns in the vicinity OF
Truro in which bluefish have been entrapped,
which, when brought to the city aud sold, have
netted the owners S55, 900. Owing to the great

Clearing out nudson's Bay.

The Minister of Marine and Fisheries con-
tends that the report of Commander Gordon,
who for the past three years has been in
charge of the Hudson Bay expeditionary
steamer, confirms other reports in effect of
the complete possession which the Ameri-
cans have taken of the whale and other fish
cries in Hudson Bay.
Other investigators and the nearest OF ma
rine states have gone beyond him in their ex-
postulations, and have pointed out that con-
siderable trade is done with the natives in
articles that have paid no duties to the Cana
dian customs. In his report, however, nen-
tion is made of the use of explosives by the
Americans, and he urges that this should be
abolished, and that a close season of five
years should be given to prevent the extinc-
tion of the whale. ~
In their methods of fishing the Americans
are, in one respect, like Indians. They fish
the place for all it is worth while they can,
and let the future take care of itself. 1t is
in this way that they would destroy the Ca
madam fisheries also if they were allowed.
1t may be that the Canadian fishermen are
not much better, but the laws imposed upon
them for the preservation of the fish are at
Least better, or better enforced than those OF
the Americans.

HALIFAX, Aug. 1S.-A nice question of in

argument against the legality Of the late
seizure of ale on board the American flag
ship Richmond because the person who sold
It did not hold liquor license. 1t is argued
that no civil officer can confscate provisions
OF any kind once they are delivered on board
foreign man-of-war, and cases are cited in
support Of this, in which it has been decid-
ed that foreign ship of war is not subject
to local laws. The court has not yet rem
dered judgment in the matter.
